Hmm. I'm not sure whether this is a zypper/libzypp issue. If the proxy returns cached data although the original data changed, I'd consider it a proxy issue.

I don't agree this being a proxy issue. The point of the proxy is to give the fast reply to all users in the network by caching the sites, without requesting the site at every request. In case you want to override the proxy cache, you can always inject the headers

Pragma: no-cache Cache-control: no-cache

which will instruct every (compliant and good) proxy to fetch the site from the net. This is actually even what is added when you press F5 (or CTRL-R) in a browser to refresh the page: normall requests without those headers, giving the control to the proxy, on a Refresh including those headers, intructing the proxy to ignore it's cache and to rebuild it. In case you consider it a 'bug of the proxy', you can assign this bug internally to another Novell group: It's a Border Manager :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

@Jano,Duncan: What do you think about a media backend no-proxy option (globaly, not per request)? Would not be hard to implement and zypper could easily offer a --no-proxy option. So one can at least workaround this. Somewhat dislike to turn of proxy per default while refresh.

Pragma: no-cache Cache-control: no-cache That's header to be sent inside the http requests. They will be interpreted by

that goes in the wrong direction here. I do NOT request the proxy to be disabled when refreshing or alike... (this would not work in any proxied environment anyhow), BUT to give the correct headers to force a refresh also of the proxy cache: the proxy. But still: it HAS to be sent TO the proxy... (so --no-proxy would break the refresh completely... as http servers here are not reachable without requesting it through the proxy). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
